Overview

In an era marked by rapid technological advancements, the synergy between engineering and information technology is poised to grow even stronger. The integration of information technology is fundamental to engineering practice across disciplines, and the industries demand graduate equipped with a comprehensive skill set encompassing both domains.

In this double degree course, you will acquire creative and problem-solving skills to use information technology in engineering applications. This could be anything from designing a stunning visualisation of engineering data to building an app for data collection or setting up the business information technology processes to deliver an engineering product via the internet.

Depending on the chosen information technology major, you could:

  • use your technical skills from software development to create controllers, simulations and visualisations for anything from manufacturing to energy usage or medical devices
  • apply your creative skills and design flair from multimedia to create a great app for controlling a 'smart house'
  • use your practical understanding of business information systems to launch an online business in engineering services or products
  • put your networks and security skills to work setting up the information technology infrastructure and software needed for remote sensing or transportation monitoring.

Double degree courses include the features of the component degree courses, except that electives may be reduced.

Engineering

E3001 Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) is a specialist course that develops through four themes that combine to underpin engineering practice: fundamentals and breadth study; design, knowledge and application; and professional practice.

Part A. Engineering fundamentals and breadth study

These units will develop your understanding of natural and physical sciences, mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics, and computer and information sciences that underpin all engineering disciplines.  If you have not completed the Australian VCE (Units 3 & 4) or equivalent Specialist mathematics and/or Physics with the required study score you will need to enrol in the foundation units ENG1090 and/or PHS1001.

Part B. Engineering design

These units will develop the engineering techniques, tools and resources for the conduct, design and management of engineering design processes and projects, both in the industrial setting and in the development of research experiments.

Part C. Engineering knowledge and application

These units will provide in-depth knowledge of the specific engineering methods of a branch of engineering and will integrate the specific engineering methods and discipline knowledge into practice. You will develop skills to identify and apply knowledge of contextual factors impacting the engineering discipline. Additionally, your studies will focus on your understanding and application of the scope, principles, norms, accountabilities and bounds of contemporary engineering practice in your discipline.

Part D. Professional practice

These units will develop your skills in readiness for the engineering workplace. You will develop skills in effective team membership and team leadership, the use and management of commercially relevant data, and the legal responsibilities of engineers. This study will integrate the theme 'Engineering knowledge and application' with your specialist field of engineering.

Information Technology

C2000 Bachelor of Information Technology is a comprehensive course, structured into three equal parts. In the double degree course you complete:

Part A. Information technology specified study

This will provide you with foundation skills and knowledge for your IT education and ensure a breadth of understanding of IT and its applications in organisations and society.

Part B. Information technology listed major

This will provide you with a focused program of study that will develop your expertise in one area of information technology. You will develop the practical and theoretical skills and knowledge in your chosen major needed to successfully plan, develop, implement and evaluate information products and systems.

Course progression map

The course progression map provides guidance on unit enrolment for each semester of study.

You must complete 240 points, of which 144 points are from the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (including all of the requirements in Parts A, B, C and D for the chosen specialisation -  electrical and computer systems, robotics and mechatronics engineering, or software engineering) and 96 points from the Bachelor of Information Technology (including all of the requirements in Parts A and B  in the single degree for the chosen major - business information systems, cybersecurity, games and immersive media, or software development).
